What is Masseter Botox?

Masseter is the name of the chewing muscles located on both sides of the jaw. Constant chewing, chewing hard things, or stress-induced clenching (bruxism) can cause the jaw muscles to expand.

Masseter Botox is injected into the chewing muscle to weaken and shrink the muscle. Chin Botox also relaxes the jaw muscles and reduces tension on the face.

 

Why is Masseter Botox Performed?

Masseter Botox creates a thin and oval face by thinning the chin structure. Thanks to the masseter Botox applied to the jaw muscles, the size of the jaw muscles is reduced and the jawline becomes thinner and more pronounced. Clenching and grinding of teeth cease.

 

How is Masseter Botox (Chin Botox) Performed?

First, a local anesthetic cream is applied to the skin. Afterwards, the masseter muscle is examined and dose adjustments are made according to the strength and volume of the muscle. During the chin Botox application, Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscle. After the procedure, which takes about 10 minutes, the patient can immediately return to his/her daily life.

 

How Long Is Masseter Botox Permanent?
